Yure, 揺れ, is the word for a sway. Not a swing, which implies force. Not a tremor, which implies fear. It is the movement of something loosely held. A hanging lamp after a door closes. A reed. A hand you are not gripping.
Japanese building never treated that as a fault. Timber frames were made to move, because a structure that resists an earthquake outright is a structure that breaks. The Yure pavilion that went up in the Tuileries in 2015 used no screws, no bolts and no glue. Twelve metres of stacked timber, and the sticks held each other.
The ring is cast solid, so it cannot move. What it kept is the geometry of something that was going to.
Inspired by Kengo Kuma and Associates' Yure Pavilion, Jardin des Tuileries, Paris. Solid sterling silver 925 with rhodium plating.
